Recruiter reached me. Facebook has the best recruiters in the industry. I went through the first round it went well with the coderpad, on the same day I got email saying they want to take another round of coderpad. The second round was after a week and the interviewer is an Indian (I am not being racist here) he started saying most negative things about the position that sounded fishy to me. These words like "did you really know what this position is for" , "I don't think you will be interested in this position" it started with the negative vibes. He asked me the level of question which is the toughest in the leetcode. I don't want to comment on the question he asked me but I am sure he didn't want to hire me. He was even asking me to on the video which they did not inform me earlier. That is too bad, because the interviewer has to know the standards of the interview, he can't randomly do what he feels like doing. Overall the interviewer was bad.
standard leetcode gatekeepers. nothing special about it. they expect you to solve multi problems, about 3 in total if you manage to solve, then they would consider. experience doesn't matter, your correct answer matters
Technical screen followed by Onsite 4 Rounds.
Technical screen was simple leetcode.
Onsite consisted of two more leetcode along with one system design and one behavioural.
Interviewee were all very nice.
